Thank you Kill! it was a software issue and the software update fixed it!! i just ordered a new one bc yea ur right its 2 years old and out of warranty so its time for a new one (since im so used to it i went with the dsp again bc of familiarity and i own the Iprobe so i sorta had to stay with Pieps).. its better to pay 450 bucks every 2 yrs and be safe then to risk someone elses or let alone my life...
